This is the first look at punk-fantasy artist Mike Sutfin’s designs for his first original toy, the MadBattleMan, which will be available from Reckless Toys in winter 2009. A sneak peek at the prototype for the toy took place at San Diego Comicon at the Toy Tokyo booth, on Thursday, July 23! The left and center images are from the postcard that was given out at Mike Sutfin’s signing; on the far right is a shot of the prototype. (Check our Flickr account for more detailed shots.) Sculpted by Scott Wetterschneider of Big Shot Toy Works, the final toy will stand at 9.25 inches tall and will be available via Reckless Toys’ web site and select retailers in the United States and Japan. This is the first of many toys to come from Reckless!

Individually painted Rumble Monsters Pharoahs Baby available now in web-store. Signed and numbered edition of 12. Hand-stamped header card.(Please note: This is a web-blind-bag sale, all are different)

Another shocker for SDCC, didn't even see this one coming! MIKE SUTFIN gets robotic on this RUMBLE MONSTERS ENTITY 13 HANDPAINT. Being introduced during the PUSHEAD event at TOY TOKYO on Thursday July 23rd, Mike will lay out quite a few of these handpainted beauties. The detail is insane! Mike just seems to know how to exceptionally apply paint to RUMBLE MONSTERS vinyl figures...it just keeps getting better. Each one has hand brushed detail, carefully and meticuously added over a painted base. Be there for the unveiling...then start crying. Someone pinch me, I must be dreaming....SUTFIN and PUSHEAD HANDPAINTS at SDCC... brain overload!

The story goes that this Entity 13 crushed the skull of an enemy with his mighty sledgehammer and all of the demons were released and started to take over the robot's body and making the 13 a demon possessed mecha monster!

A mysterious package arrives, return address: 'Lando Calrissian'. Once open, it's understood that the talented artist I met in NYC Halloween 2k7, Kostas Seremetis was the true mastermind behind this cannibalized toy creation! Why it was sent, why why why? At this point it's still unclear, but the fact he decided to send it to me is like listening to both the Rocky and Karate Kid theme-songs at once. Permission granted to post these images. Enjoy my good friends, enjoy.
